[} MONEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. Moxpay EFERING, Doc. % The tendency toward an easier corndition in $he locel money merket, noted at the close of last weck, is continued to-dey. The deposits of a msjority of the banks are increasing, and in & good many banks the aggregate of discountshas Leen reduced, showing that obligations are being more prompily paid. This alleviation of the stringency is to be attributed entirely to_the beavy movement of hogs and cattle from here Esstward,> There is, however, & good deal of -pommercial paper offered in the open market Fet at 114 per cent per month. Thbo demand for New York exchange is large, end the price is firm at 600 to 75¢ per £1,000 premium for sales between banks, BANES RESPONSINLE FOB CONSIGNEES. Tho decision of the United States Circuit Court at Boston, on the 6th, in the case of the Werchants’ National Bank of Memphis vs. the Kational Bank of Commerco of Boston, makes su important change in what has commonly been considered the position of & bank to whom bills of lading are forwarded to secure the ac. reptance of drafts drawn on consignees of mer- thendise. The decision, in fach, makes the bank responsible for the consignes to the ship- ger and drawer, and if the ruling here en- ounced is sustained, must greatly complicate the business of drawing against ehipments. The decision referred to was given for tho plain- tiffs in the caso of suit brought o recover ges for negligenco on tho part of the defendants in giving up to the consignees the bills of lading of a lot of cotton upon acceptance by the con- signees of a thirty deys’ draft, dravn against the shipment and attached to bills of lading and sent on to the defendants’ bank for collection. The laintiffs contended that it was the duty of the enk to keep the collateral Zuntil the draft was 4, and thiat by reeson of:giving up the bills of ing the plaintiils loge their security, the con- recs heving failed before the expiration of thirty days after accepting it. Tn discussing the effect of_this decision, soma Lankers hold that the only object _in forwarding Lills of lading to & bank, instead of direct to the i co, isio sccure the acceptance of the drévn_ngainst tho shipment, and that done, they hold that the trustof the tank has been fulfilled. The presumption is that the dreft is to be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the goods, that in tho case above mentioned this was acknowledged in the fact ihat the bill was drawn et thirty days’ sight, which wozld give the time necessary to sell the cotton, and that to ensble the consignee to sell, 1nd with the proceeds meef his accaptance, the delivery of the cotton nescessarily preceded the payment of the draft, end that this being 2 nes- cessary preliminary, the bank shonld not be held responsible. The consigneo was designated by the shipper, not by the bank, and the latter ghould not be responsible for the solvency of a factor in whoso selection it had no voice. Theee, we say, aro tho views that bankers have generally entortained regarding & bank’s respon- «ibility in such cases, but the decision referred to changes this, and makes the bank the real consignee snd commission merchant, and the nominal consignes its agent, for whose acts it must be responsible. The law provides for the holding of goods in escrow, and this means of protection againat the insolvency or dishonesty of the consigneeis resoried to in msany cases, though it greatly complicates the salo of goods and payment of drafts drawn against them. The decision of the Court would scem to place any bank to whom bills of lading msy be forwarded in the position of bailea. t, MONSTER BANK SCEEMES. Ti secms. thet the “Great Consolidated Cen- tral Redemption United Siates National Bank,” which it was proposed to start_in New York last fummer, by getting a1l the National Banks of the country to cubscribo 1 per cent of their capital and making it their redeeming agentand master, hies come to the surface again with Mr. Freeman Clarke as its figure-heed. The four or five per- cons who met at the St. Nicholas Hotel, one day lest summer, and called themselves a meeting of 2he" Nationsl Banlkers of the United States, ara ewaiting the action of Congress in regard to & Dill giving them power to stert tho bank, and other banks power to subscribe to the capital stock of the bank to an amount not exceeding 1 per cent of the capitel slock of the bank so sub- seribing, and to appoint such bank their radeem- ing sgent. s A counter scheme to this is that by Mr. Thecler, of New York, which makes the mon- strous proposition to establish & Government in- stitution on the plen of the Bank of England, divided into £ banking and an issue department, and both to bo managed by the “ Governor and Jenagers of the Iixchequer of tho Uniled Htates ;" capital $100,000,000, to be taken by the Natiopal Banks, the central office fo be in New York, and branch offices are to be established in -ihe fifteen largest cities of the country. The proprietors ere to choose the managers for all the offices, Section 6 provides that the corpo- ration shall be divided into two departments— one for banking, and the other to consist of three Commissioners for each office, appointed respectively by the President, the Governor of the State, and the mansagers of the office. These Commissioners are to bheve authori- iy to issus motes to _ihe ite Department, for which gold coin il be required_s3 security, to one-fourth the amount of the first §200,000,000. The whole ccheme is so extensive, end &onpuzes such com- ‘plete control of the financisl interests and of zle issue of currency, that if Eecretary Boui- well hod not just smd in his repori thatthe ‘bankers and merchants of the country wero to e distrusted, and proposed to take these very powers into his own hands, this proposed mon- ster benk project would look like a burlesque on Ireeman Clarke'’s schemo. Tho whole tenor of Llr. Boutwell's observations on banking and the currency are imed 2t just this kind of centrali- zation of finsncial power, and in conjunction with theso projects shows the probebility of & puposo and & _powerfnl organization to accomplish it. cornection with the rapid coneclidation of railroads into fewer and fewer hands, these proposals to practically consolidate all the National s of 1he country show bow repidly we are marching forward to that system of patornal government which assumes that no individual banker or mer- chant knows what Lo wants or how to take care of his own interests, and thet, as Mr. Bontwell claims, they shonid ba distrusted. Mr. Clarke's great bank scheme contains a bait for the National Banks, in the proposal to remit the tax on deposits, a8 follows: There are now ninetecn points of rsdemption where the re- serves of country banks are kept. A bankin Peorie, for instance, will keep depocits and re- serve in Chicsgo. The bank in Chicago will keep deposits and reserve in New York, Under the present, law, the tax on deposits is 3§ of 1 per cent, _The eame deposit, in the case abova ‘mentioned, prys tex three times—onco at Chice~ 0 and egein at New York. Mr. Clarko thinksthe New York bank should pay tho tax, and pro- poses that the protected redesming agency, and ot the country banks, shall bear that burden of taxation. It is proposed to start tho benk as £oon a8 bill can be_passed which Ar. Clarke _now has before the Banking and Currency Com- miittee which provides for the commencement of the redemption of legal tenders, with £100,000,- 000 in gold set zeido for the purpose, the legal tenders soredeemed to beissuedas fastas receiv- ed if & demend comes from them. E.+ proposes elgo that banks shall redeem their notes in legal tendexs at per in New York, and at their coun- ters if asked; thet banks must hold their pres- ent amount of reserves in addition to the coin they may hold. He believes that the $100,000,~ D00 of legsl tenders in the bank reserves, and the Secretary of the Treasury having £100,000,~ 000 ir: gold to take up that amount of legal ten- ders, the rush for coin would bo stayed bafore the Secretary conld pay cut $20,000,000.

COMMERCIAL. MoxDaY EVESTNG, Dec. 9. The following wero the receipts and shipments of the leading articles of produce in this city during the past forty-eight hours, and for the corresponding date & year ago: Tho advices from other points are fur from belng satisfactory. At Liverpool, old meats are dull an lower ; new are t2kon only in_small ‘quantities, with ‘ovident spprehicnsion of lower prices. *On the Conti= nont; trade is scarcely better, and consumers contend that a Jower averago of priccs must prevail or con- sumption will fall off, In our own markets the pros- pect s leas encouraging, declines foilow declines aa tho days roll on, and stocks accumulato without the remotest chancd of present relief—nobody wants to Dbuy overy oneis anxious fo gell; ns a matter of courbo, even ke hichest markets are brought to o stand-still, whilst the smaller ones aro reduced to mere retail transactions, 'Thisis especially the caso at large points, save in tho interior of the Southern States, and at places in direct connection with them ; swhilst at the great producing points of the West, tlo marketsare still further embarragsed by large ro- ceipts of bogs, hoir rocoding valuo, and tho anziety of perties holding contracts, December to January do- Livery, to force off their stuff and make o present loss in preferenco to a future one. Lard costing B@BXO and 8%/0 cash, can be bought ut 2nything over c, snd is reported to have been sold at that price, which, though nominal, is the full outside ono for December to January delivertes. . Within the week thero has been some trickery, both Fast and Test, to got up 3 show of activity in pro- visions, with the hope of manipulating prices; but the efforts, though npparently showing o strong reaction- ary feeling, fuiled, and tho markets have relapsed into SEIPMENTS, 1871, Flour, brls .. even greater inactive dulness, Almost simultansously Wheat, thers wero heavyshipments, principally old pork, from Corn, bu .. tho lakes, and large reported sales in the Eust for ox- Oats, bu 11200 port; buf ns s0on ua tho movements wero made, there Bye, bu Wasa_compurative_stoppage, and the exports from Barley, bu Nov.1 to26, in New York, and to 23d, from other Graes seed, Places, as compared with thofa from the 1st to tho S0th.

The following grain has been inspected into etore this morning, up to 10 o’clock: 155 cars wheat; 132 cars corn ; 35 cars oata; 10 cars rye; 63 cars barley. Total, 305 cars, or 154,000 bu. Theo grain in the Galena Elevator, and in Ar- mour, Dole& Co.'a is being weighed over, and account of receipts taken. The Illinois Cen- tral Elevator will also be gauged, but they have 5o much grain in store that the work will reguire more time than in some otker cases. Itis ex- pected that returns will be_received from all the grain warehouses in the city befora Christmas, 50 that we can commence the new year with clean record. A vriter to the Chicago Frening Journal complaints because thie commercial columns of Tee TRIBUNE did not contain the announcement on Saturday last that Hough Bros. had taken out a licenso to run their new elovator. *Com- misgion” must be very hard up for a complaint, a3 we noted the fact in our issue of Fridey last. The news was old on Baturday. If ¢ Commis- sion ™ wants the statement to be stereotyped for Lis especial benefit he may look elsewhere. We suspect he does not tell what is really the mat- ter with him. There was a little more_activity in produce circles to-day, and the leading articles were gon~ erally firmer; corn and wheat being quite strong, in the face of heavy receipts. There was a fair ehipping demand all round, but the principal in- quiry was specalative, and indicated s littlo more pecuniary ease thon has existed for some time ‘past, though money is still quoted tight. The more pleasant teather may have had eomething to do with the more confident feeling on the part of buyera. Grocerics were reported quicf, with prices gen- erally easy; the only notable exception being coffees, in which thero is still an upward ten- dency. Sugars are weak and unsettled. Syrups, teas, soaps, and most other goods in the Tisk were selling ot a slight concession from the qnotad prices, The dry goods trade was mod- erately active and gtrong, both cotton and wool- len fabrics being held with decided firmness at tho quotations. Inthe butter market fair ac- tivity was witnessed, and former rates were fully sustained. Choice qualities suitable for tho table were quickly disposed of at 26@28c— chiefly to Jocal consumers. Cheete remeins dull, Coal = was fairly active st £12.00 for Lackawanna; at £10.50@11.00 for Erio, ®nd at $7.00 for Wilmington. The hide and leather market wero fairly active and Hay was unchanged in price, thongh prai- Tie was rather casier, under liberal receipts, In the oil market no decided change was visible, Lard oil was again weakand unsettled.

Prices aro ranging higher ; tierces sold to-day at §1.95. Irom, tin, copper, nails, etc., continue in moderats re- quest at present quotstions. Salt was fairly sctive end firm- at $2.40 for coarse and fine grades. ool wag rather quict ; present prices are held quite firmly, but manufacturers are -+ $T.50@ 9.75 6.50 heat was only moderately active, but quite strong,-at an average advanco of 1@1}{con the prices of Saturday; though the reported raceipts wera large. The trading was moro largely for next month's delivery than forgeveral days past, and seemed to be largely tho offact of the exer- cise of ‘“home talent,” a8 on Saturday, as the reported strength in New York was not more than suiicient to counterbalance the fact of 64,000 bu raceived ngainst small shipments. Thero is un~ doubtedly moro money Waiting investment in wheat than for some timo paat, the capitalists having lot it. severely alone for several woeks till now, and our limited stock has recently been ‘boosted along from ono option to another, every | operator aiming to carry &s littlo as possible. Now thereis more willingness toinvest, andacon- sequent advanca in prices, espaciallyas tho short interest is anxious to cover whenever the longs teke hold. We note thet tho New York de- epatches quote a difference of 7@8c per bu be- tween Chicago and Milwaukee whoat, the dis- crimination being in favor of the latter. This shows what kind of stuff is offered on the sea- Toard as Chicago No. 3, and may suggest to some that it is foolish to talk about preserving the in- tegrity of our grades here if shippers can mix at their own eweet will when they take the grain out of store. The resl difficuity is that the poo- ple in New York do_not know Chicago No. 3 hen they see it, and it would seem that they Dave very little chance of secing it unless they come out West. Thero is not 7@Sc per bu dif- ferance in tho value of No. 2 spring in _this sec- tion, though we admit that the inspection at the different elevators is not always uniform. Seller January openoed at $1.19%, advanced to S1.13%5, foll to "£1.12%7, and advanced to $1.14 af tho close. Seiler the month, or cash No. 2 spring, sold at $1.113{@1.13, closing &t tho outside.

The demand was almost exclusively for next month's_delivery, and largely from the shorts, but cagh lots were firm, in sympathy, though not much_inguired for.

The arrival of 1,600 pockets of foreign hops during tho Inst fortnight his been no more thon suiliclent to sup- ply the wants of the trade, and whilo theso weekly im- portations do ot materialy iaerease, omx ‘market 15 ikely to continue healthy for somo time to come. An important feature of the vweek is anothr large ship- ‘ment of old hops from thia market to London ; 800 Dales went ont_by the stesmer Helland, It must be a matter of no Litle surpriso to our friends in Europe t0'ses such large ghipments from Americs, knowing, s they do, that wosre largeiy dependent upon them for supplics of now to meet the doficiency in 6ur own urop; it uay be vxplained, however, by the fact that our rewers hava fever sequired tho habit of using old hops to the extent that English browers do, snd Rothing probably would inducs them to Tso them, ex- cept in o small way, by mixing with new, unlessactu- ally driven to it by & completo exhsustion of the stock of ‘ew hops ; thus it s that the heavy advance in the ‘price of Tiew has had o Littlo effect upon the price of olds, The stock of old hops in this morket is now Te- duced to 19,000 bales, being a Fediction of 5,000 bales since the middle of September Last ; o very large pro- portion of tha stock on hand is of 10w grade, and al- ‘Paoat wholly unfit for browing purposes, The markets in the interior are all reported firm, with a tendency to higher prices.” HONEY—Tho offerings of choics comb continuo light, Strained honey s plenty and. dull.
